Will there be a debate between Alberto Fernández and Mauricio Ma …

The candidate for the Presidency of the Front of All, Alberto Fernández, spoke in the dialogue with Página / 12 electoral debates that should be held on October 13 and 20, according to the law pbaded by the Congress in 2016. He considered Mauricio Macri He is "in a situation of great weakness" to be debated and declared that the obligatory character is "nonsense". But he said: "If you want to debate, I discuss".

"They must finally engage in a debate with deep electoral weakness and greater political weakness," Fernandez questioned, referring to the macrismo initiative which included the obligation to hold presidential debates. "The obligation to debate by law is nonsense," he added.

The candidate of All added that "it is almost perverse" to debate Macri because "he is in a very fragile situation and must also face a debate". "If you want to debate, I argue.If there is a law that says it, I will comply," he warned.

The presidential debates were instituted after the last reform of the electoral code, which, at the initiative of the macrismo, determined the obligatory character. It was even decided that there would be penalties for candidates who would not participate in the debate by removing advertising space. In fact, he was also promoted to the position of empty president of the non-present candidate.
